Skin

Feel comfortable in my skin

My skin is flaking like I’m a Mummy

I see the cells in my epidermis

Clock is ticking but I disagree

In the long stretch of a Kentucky Derby

Camera flashes looks like we have a photo finish

A nose just above the finish line

You are crowned with Roses

But I feel comfortable in me

Fireworks in the sky above me

I crawl back into my skin

My skin saves me from bad weather

In the final quarter we are striding 12 legs strong

At the finish line a nose above we stand

With our fancy hats and Mint Juleps

In the horse’s quarters a worker cleans up

The Kentucky Shit

As the millionaire’s go home with their prim hats

I feel comfortable in the skin that surrounds me
